Celebrating U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Athletes.

Since 2000, we’ve celebrated human accomplishment by crafting unique gold rings for every member of Team USA. Hand made by us in the USA, these symbols of pride and commitment represent years of dedication and sacrifice.

The Inspiration Award

The O.C. Tanner Inspiration Award gives U.S. Olympic athletes the chance to honor those who helped them achieve their Olympic-sized dreams. The coaches, parents, friends, siblings, and spouses who inspired them who may never receive their own Olympic medal.

“Behind every Olympian and Paralympian, there is someone who encourages a dream and awakens the
quest for success. The Inspiration Award truly honors these motivators.”— Lisa Baird, USOC

2014 Inspiration Award Winners

Four Olympians and four Paralympians received the 2014 Inspiration Award—a handcrafted 14K gold commemorative ring—that they in turn can present to their mentors. The honorees are chosen from nominations that Team USA athletes submit themselves. We invite you to read their stories.
